Five more bombs were found in a backpack near a New Jersey train station Sunday night. One exploded when a bomb squad robot tried to disarm it.

Elizabeth Mayor Christian Bollwage said two men called police and reported seeing wires and a pipe coming out of the package after finding it in a trash can around 8:30 p.m.
